Do we expect too much from human reason?

[bennyboy]

I didn't say it was "bad". I said it was sloppy -- and it is.


It's not the word I dislike. It's having a stereotype being bandied about my friends and family that I dislike. When I don't like something, I pipe up. Don't like it? Tough shit.


Nuance isn't your forte, I get it.

You are stuck with emotional debris. That's on you. My point is:
far right and far left have similar and predictable traits. This is a "truth" that really is empirical. We can argue it till we are blue in the face. The fact remains, list personality traits of people and we have not only an overlap but a large element of predictability. We don't have to like it. Some bitches are even afraid of it. It doesn't change the validity of the observation.

Marketing is based on stereotyping people. You can ignore the facts, but like kid rock said " ...are you scared ..." tough shit.

stole this from CD. It would behoove you to think on it.

"... conclusions arising from an assessment of the evidence at hand are often frightening. Often, a person prefers to reject that which scares them, and embrace that which makes them feel good - evidence be damned..." You are proof of what thoughtage means.

First of all, I'm not talking about far right or far left.

Second of all, calling folks "bitches" online is really tough. Mighty big set of balls you got there, kid. I'm impressed!

at this site? really? "bitches"? you are crying foul about a word. I mean I ok if you would have protested a generalization? but the "bitch"? I didn't call you one. I called many philosophers bitches in general. I didn't call anybody here a bitch. But either way I am shocked at this site that a word like bitch would get any reaction.

Hmm ... wonder what that means in termz of the OP point?

Before you get the virtual ass-raping that you deserve for the total lack of quality of your posts, I have to ask you: are you a teenager? I mean, who goes around calling people bitches or talking about "termz"? I can only imagine that if you wrote this stuff by hand, you'd have the letters "R" backwards too?
